A terrible win against a mediocre team.
Play of the game - Who gives a crap.
Player of the Game - UCF's running back.
Least Valuable Contribution: Group award, awarded to the Linebackers. Congrats, men!
UNIT GRADES
Quarterbacks - Amazing. This is the Colt we all expected to see. 13/14, about 100 yards. He is in absolute control of this game . . . well, OK, but you couldn't expect him to keep the pace, because it's . . . OK, fuck. You are allowed throw standing still, you know. Two owls for you.
Running Backs - Fine. He fumbled a lot. Charles is a really special player when he gets a crease. Too bad we don't see much of that because or run game is so easy to disrupt.
Receivers - Nate Jones and Quan Cosby played really well, again. Sweed was out hurt, so I thought Pittman would step up finally, but, again, nothing. I say we bench him.
Offensive Line - Sucked in the run game, although who knows how much fault falls on them. Oh wait, I know, it's almost none. Pass protection was fine, Colt made them look worse than they were because he held onto the ball too long.
Defensive Line - How can you tell? Even when they do their jobs the LBs mess everything up. Pass lush was velly velly good.
Linebackers - Worst. Game. Evar. 11 total tackles, 15 total Mack Claps. My friends were playing the Mack Clap drinking game. One is in the ER right now thanks to Robert Killibrew.
Secondary - Marcus Griffin took bad angles, Eric Foreman Jackson was invisible to a Pittmanesque degree, Brandon Foster let guys get wide open on long yardage situations. All in all, your average week from the secondary. Only thing saving them from Bob Stoops' smiling dome was Palmer's excellent pass breakups and Foster's INT.
Coaching - Well, I thought we found an offensive identity. Throw short to complement the run game and go for home runs when the defense gives them to us. But I guess the plan was just to throw short this week because we never adjusted when UCF starting jumping the short stuff. We threw a few deep balls but were both incomplete. We should've not shied away from that. On defense, who the hell knows how well we schemed. But F for teaching the LBs, and F for keeping Muck and Norton on the bench for those clowns. Behold, the rare DOUBLE STOOPS!
AWARDS
The Casey Hampton Award for Defensive Excellence - Sam Acho, because I like him.
The Eric Hall Award for Offensive Defense - Most of them.
The Vince Young Award for Offensive Excellence - Quan Cosby.
The Matt Anderson Award for Offensive Offense - Colt.
The Colt McCoy Award for Best Current QB on Team - An armband Vince Young left here when he graduated.
The Selvin Young Award for Upperclassman Favoritism - Killibrew.
At Least We're Not Notre Dame Award: Us!
The Tim McCarver Idiot Rambler Award - I watched this game in a loud bar, so this award goes to the Screamin' Mexican guy that was behind us:
"AWWW THAT WAS A CATCH!"
It clearly wasn't, hombre. Clearly. Shut up and drink your beer.

This “Bialystock” coaching effort is infuriating.

This comes as no surprise, but there is absolutely no accountability on this team. Players, coaches, everyone has their job and role and nothing they do can change it. It’s disgusting.
Robert Killebrew should never see the field again. If there were a stat in football that showed yards prevented above replacement level player, Killebrew would be negative. Not only does he not play well, but he also actively causes us to give up yardage with his stupid penalties. Consistently.

Man that was ugly! I’m afraid we’ve got a class A Butt-whipping ahead of us in 3 weeks :(

Has Eric Jackson made a single play in the first three games? Anyone?? Kelson may not be that good, how could I possibly know? But, he did force the key fumble at Ohio St., he then sacked the QB for a safety in the same game. He also was one of the key players in on the tackle of Lendale White on fourth down in the Rose Bowl. In other words, we might not have won the National Title in 2005 without Kelson.
He might have flaws in his game, but the guy has made big plays in his limited time on the field. I guess that earns you a spot on the bench with this staff. I just don’t understand. I guess “I am not a football coach” so I don’t know shit.

You are also a bad fan Barton for noticing or saying anything about it.

Wrong logo for UCF. Not sure if this was intentional disrespect or an accident?
Here’s our athletic logo

With ChrisApplewhite, you never know. He’s crafty that way.

Did you notice Jamaal in protection? He actually did a good job this time.

Did you know Colt Mccoy is from a town so small they only have one stop light.

Ryan Bailey’s the man. He deserves a Phil Dawson rejecting Playboy’s All-American Team for special teams excellence.

After watching this game, I’m just speechless or despondent.

At least we get a breather this week, against Rice… or, DO we?!

Well. as best I could see, only three peoples fell for O’Leary’s lsd trick. That would be your coach, who must have thought his hands were melting so he kept beatin em together to make it stop. And two of your linebackers. Letsall Killabrew and Ydontwe Smokeajoint. Them boys was seeing shit that the rest of us was missin.

The fanbase is turning against Mack and the staff.
A larger contingent is voicing its discontent as each week passes.
The 63-20 RRS blowout is coming . . . What then?
by Back on the Hotseat on Sep 17, 2007 8:49 AM CDT reply actions
63-20? That is just one of the stupidest predictions I have seen.
Unless you are counting on some points from the defense to get our total up to 20.
by Stuck in MN on Sep 17, 2007 8:58 AM CDT reply actions
OU’s third stringers will give up some points just like USC’s third stringers against Nebraska.
Should a coach of an “elite” program be permitted to take 3 destructions?
by Back on the Hotseat on Sep 17, 2007 9:45 AM CDT reply actions
No, we will not beat OU, face it we are back to what our program always has been. Maybe we can hope that graduation will haunt them in 5 years from now because I see no light.

It was a catch.
From NCAA rule book-
Definitions
In Possession
Article 5.
a. A player “gains possession” when he is firmly holding or controlling the ball while contacting the ground inbounds.
1. Limas held the ball firmly before his knee hit.
2. He still held the ball firmly as his knee hit.
3 He still held the ball firmly after his knee hit.
4. 1,2,3 mean that he continuously held the ball
at the time his knee hit. (This is just for mathematical tidiness).
5. According to the rule book Limas gained possession when his knee hit.
